It's been reported today that a judge, Peter Bowers, has called a drug-addicted serial burglar 'brave' and refused to send him to prison for his actions.
Whether this comment has been taken out of context or not doesn't seem clear. However, on the face of things, the judge's remarks are surely among the most stupid ever uttered in a court of law and certainly by a judge.
There are many apocryphal stories of judges seeming to be disconnected from reality but this one clearly is.
